Tech News In Short – By Vishal Dutia

Samsung’s Snapdragon Galaxy S8+(G955U) has been rooted, but it isn’t ready for prime time yet

XDA is the living, breathing embodiment of the spirit of software engineering. At least, as applied to Android. And thanks to those fine folks, the inevitable march of progress has advanced yet again. XDA member BotsOne made twoposts yesterday in which he confirmed that he and the others working on it were able to get read/write access to the system partition, and were subsequently able to install SuperSU.

That doesn’t mean things are ready for the “average” root user (if there is such a thing).
